I was severely afflicted with the disease and tried my family physician, in addition to various remedies, without effect. I procured some of the above medicine, and before using i bottle of it I could walk without my crutches, and by the time I had used a bottle and a half, I felt entirely well, and have not .suffered any since. I cheerfully recommend it, and believe it will do all its propietors claim for it. Respectfully, E. O. Mastin, Deputy Collector of Wilkes e\ XT n T7V.K OO 1GQR LUUU lj> , x*.

Once when a transient guest at a hotel he was seated in the dining room opposite a lady and her little daughter of four or live years. Well bred silence was preserved, but the child looked "Black Jack" over with interest. What passed in her mind became apparent when, after a week's absence, he was again seated at the table with the same lady and her daughter. In the interim the general had had his hair so cut that it exposed the lower part of the lobe ' i i r 11 i.? 01 ills ears, xiaruiy hus min Jiis chair before the child's eyes were fairly glued upon him.

Tne child's mother blushed crimson and attempted to stammer out .an apology, but the general turned to her and said, with a smile that rendered his swarthy features radiant : "Madam, pray do not distress yourself. I can assure you they are not asses' ears."?Xew York Times. ;1 Tramps' Directions. Take the one single incident of direction for rendezvous, memoranda, etc., 011 water tanks and in stations. I have looked for such with but very small success, considering the bulk of the legends about them, though I have found them.

Yours for Business, tf 'JOHN A. WILLIAMS. NECESSITY FOR SMILES. A Discourse on tho Desirability of a Happy Countenance. Certain kindly disposed persons arc in the habit of advising mankind in a phrase peculiar to photographers to '"look pleasant" whatever be their state and condition and to insist that even aching hearts should be carried beneath smiling countenances. Yet just as there are people who object to those regions where perpetual sunshine prevails and where clouds and storms arc unknown, so there are those who would find monotonous an ever cloudless countenance. As an antidote to melancholy Keats suggested that when one's beloved exhibited some "rich anger" to Imprison her soft hand and let her rave And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes. Of course there are smiles more heartrending than tears and tears more cheering than smiles, while the Cheshire cat variety of expression is pleasant to the point of exasperation. The smile upon the face of Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated Monna Lisa is unendurable to some people, while over others it casts a spell not to he resisted. It is said that the American feminine countenance is one that leans toward smiles, and if foreign testimony is to be trusted there is cause for a smiling complacency in thr demonstrated facts that American women are the best dressed as well as the* most independent and problem free of all women. To have the right things on one's body and the wrongthings off one's mind is certainly to be as happy as it is possible for womankind to be. But as for the necessity for smiling in all situations and under all circumstances that must rest with the individual, who will probably decide that he will look as he feels and smile when he pleases.?Chicago Tribune. Working 24 Hours a Day. There's eo rest for those tireless little workers?Dr. King's New Life Pills. Millions are always busy, curing Torpid L;ver, Jaundicp, Biliousness, Fever and Ague.

Francis Darwin, speaking before the members of the British association at Glasgow, said that a pine tree grows straight upward because it possesses a gravitation sense. A rdiint wliiY-li crows in a curve in or der to assume the position best suited to its needs also exhibits a perception of gravitation. Some flower stalks are very curiously guided by the gravitation sense. The common narcissus is an example. At first there is a straight shaft piercing the ground with its compact pointed flower hud. "But as the flower opens tin4 stalk bends close to the top and bring- the flower tube into a roughly horizontal position, where it shows oH its brightly colored crown to the insects that visit it. The flowers arc guided to the rig1 ; position hv the gravitation sens . and they increase or diminish the angular bend in their stalk till the right position is attained." This Will Interest Mothers.

When you arc writing a novel, don't get your geographical facts so badly mixed as to reflect discredit upon your early training. Jn one popular novel the Azores arc referred to as in a southern latitude. The writer also introduces his hero into the antarctic regions in January and speaks of the "inky blackness'"' of the nights lie experienced there. Of course anybody ought to know that the month ot' January is the height oL' the antarctic summer, and the entire month is one continous day. True to Name.
